ITT: "It ain't doing anything new, but it's fucking good at what it does."
>>55425144was about to post this, what a fucking awesome album
>>55425058Run the Jewels is sooo overrated... can someone please explain the hype?
>>55425058sadly. an el p and killer mike collab could be much more.
>>55425174El-P production + 2 great rappers= goodWhat do I have to explain? If you don't like hip-hop you won't like it, if you do you probably will. I'd like to hear a hip-hop head's reason they DON'T like it because I've yet to hear one yet.
>>55425174It ain't anything new, but it's fucking good at what it does.
>>55425199this
>>55425211they have lots of cringey lyrics and El-P's beats get old quick. there just isn't a ton of substance...
>hurr durr every new album has to reinvent the fucking wheelJust fuck off with this primitive mindset.
honestly this and aprocalypse
>>55425297>cringey lyricsIt's a satire of braggadochio in hip-hop. Neither El-P or Killer mike are legitimately as ignorant as they play themselves off to be on the album.
>>55425105beat me to it.
>>55425174Agree. Huge chunk of my library is hip-hop and I listen to it often. But really nothing about RTJ grabbed me at all...
>>55425144AOTY 2013
>>55425560They're goofy as hell and are two dudes you could probably imagine yourself sitting at a diner with for a hungover breakfast.
>>55425513>>55425553>>55425608nice
>>55425605This. They're having fun, but sound good doing it.Plus El-P reads Phillip K Dick so I've got mad respect.
>>55425662I was gonna pick up the variant RTJ howard the duck cover and dead pool cover this month but I would have been out 120 bucks.It's not music we're gonna look back and say "they were ahead of their time" but I feel like it's something you could bump on a drive to embarass your kids in 20-30 years
>>55425581agreed.
>>55425605>>55425662It's sitting there in my library still. I'll give it another spin now with this in mind.
>>55425297What? They're making fun of G-funk and Maffiaso Rap. Did you not get that? If you listen to there other shit it's pretty obvious they're making fun of "thug life, fuckin bitches, sellin drugs, making money, buying shit, threatening/bragging" hip-hop.
>>55425817If you can, fucking dance around to it and act like a damn fuccboi idiot. I feel like that's what it's made for
>>55425718sooo dadrap is gonna become a thing in like 40 years' time? that's a depressing and weird thought.
>>55425864I cleaned my whole house listening to RTJ1&2, jumping around like a dick. Was fun.
>>55425450>insulting our patrician Lord and Saviour
>>55425211>>55425297I like RTJ but I agree that the project could use more substance. I'm still waiting for them to top R.A.P. Music
>>55425873Not really. I think it's good.Shit cycles around though too, and it will be interesting to see how tracks from today are utilized later
there were very few things that i didn't expect to happen, i even anticipated a few of the grove changes.
>>55425873Dadrap already exists. Look at Jay-Z's last album
>>55426004Kanye's coming this year too.
>>55426017ehh, Kanye at least has a little edge to his music. To me, dadrap is like adult contemporary shit
>>55426149Was just making the joke that Kanye's album is gonna be all "I love my family"
>>55426083Great album I got the clear record it's so great:')
>>55426028Preferred their first (i think) album.This one was 3spooky5me.
>>55425144It's insane how good this album is.The "I Appear Missing" outro...
>>55425553i really like this.
>>55426174YOU AINT GOT THE ANSWERS
>>5542586430 mins in... Like the beat (especially the vocal sample) of 'Get It'. Production is solid and the verses are tight. Albeit a little empty? That's kind of as far as it goes for me tho. I guess if I'm gonna listen to rap, I'm a sucker for the older east coast thug stuff. Mobb, BigL etc.Glad I have it another spin though. Definitely not as bad as my first knee jerk reaction.
